His larger build compared to past contestants came as a pleasant arrival to viewers, although he was eliminated by Tran, 26, later that night at the rose ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>The contestant appeared on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-viall-files\/id1448210981\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Viall Files<\/a>\u201d podcast on Tuesday, July 16, to talk about his experience on the reality dating show. Host <strong>Nick Viall<\/strong> said fans saw the body diversity as \u201ca breath of fresh air,\u201d adding that many were upset to see him go so quickly. Harris took the opportunity to give credit to Kelce, 36, for boosting his confidence while noting that there are no hard feelings between him and Tran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m representing my offensive linemen on the show, for sure. Jason Kelce has paved the way for me to be able to be here. I\u2019ll forever be grateful for that man,\u201d Harris, who is a former football player himself, said. \u201cI don\u2019t deserve any special treatment because of that. If the chemistry wasn\u2019t there, it wasn\u2019t there, and I\u2019m not sour about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelce has charmed fans thanks to his unmatched career with the Philadelphia Eagles and his and brother <strong>Travis Kelce<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast. In addition to his professional accolades, Jason has always let his wild personality shine, which includes ripping his shirt off whenever he\u2019s having a good time at a public event, like watching the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/jason-kelce-explains-why-he-was-shirtless-at-chiefs-vs-bills-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Buffalo Bills<\/a> during the 2023 playoffs.
